Stop lights

I was driving home last night very late and as I was crusing along at about 30 mph on a dark lonely stretch of road that is busy during the day, but DEAD at night, I came up to a stop light. And it turned red. Now this was about 12am and I was the ONLY car in any direction and the light had been green for a very long time. So, being the model citizen (or resident in Mexico), I stopped. And I waited. And I waited. For probably about 2 minutes before that light turned green. Of course, I could have gone right through it and no one would have known, but after about the first minute, I was curious to see how long it would take to change.

What is the deal? Sometimes I think the lights have a mind of their own and change just to annoy me. Or maybe there is a couple of guys with cameras and switches that are laughing up in their little control tower.
Well done.You need to follow these stop lights. But in night with no traffic you can overlook these stop lights
